D2l Night School - Dave Lockhart: Web Performance: Millennials Aren’t Waiting For Your App to Load

https://www.meetup.com/D2L-Night-School/events/250120890/

There's more to performance than load times. Gen Y'ers expect your application to load fast, stay fast, oh and also still not suck while traveling in Europe in a bus with terrible wifi going through a tunnel using a hand-me-down phone. So what do your impatient emoji-lovers look for in a modern and fast web application? Hint: a lot. We'll cover that, and also learn how your users' expectations translate into tangible performance metrics you can measure today. We'll explore tools to record those measurements, and techniques that'll allow you to start ramping up your application's speed.

Bio:
Dave has been developing stuff at D2L for 13 years. He’s spent that time diving deep into everything web, and is so excited about where the web platform is headed. Block off several hours if you’d like to chat with Dave about web components. Dave has worked in various roles, but really enjoys supporting other developers in their quest to build accessible, usable, secure and high performing web applications

What to bring:
Some attendees like to bring a note-book to jot down ideas during the session.
